The LZR Racer Aquabeat

iRiver which makes various MP3 Players teamed up with Speedo for this JDM market only LZR Racer Aquabeat contraption.  It holds about 2 GB of music which compared to iPods is just about  nothing.  Not only does the technology suck but the design is horrible.  Can you imagine wearing thi?  Oy!

Have any of you lot actually tried using one? My wife has one and it works great, and no, the wires don't flap about your face when you breath or any other time!

Exactly.  I wouldn't mind a swimming mp3 player
for when I swim on my own from time to time but it has to be compact. 
I can't imagine doing a flipturn with all those cords.  Someone may
strangle themselves.  Bad design iRiver, but then again most iRivers
are bad designs or just ripped off designs. 

As for Speedo, well talk about a company that just doesn't seem to get Twitter and online social networks.  I was trying to figure a way on commenting on Speedo Worldwide on Twitter @Speedo_Global.  If you are a company and create a Twitter account please stay on top of your @reply.  Speedo_Global seems to have a few day to week long wait for it to respond.  Not good for a company.  Maybe it is just me as I'm slowly beginning to dislike everything Speedo.

That's terrible. Like I want cords flapping around my face when I'm taking a breath.

I've always wanted to swim with music but I've never been able to find a worthwhile aquatic mp3 player. They all seem weird and hokey and no good for real swimming.
